GOP-Led Senate Intel Committees Report Reveals Gold Mine of Evidence on Trump Campaigns Russia Contactshttps://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/senate-intel-committees-report-reveals-gold-mine-of-evidence-on-trump-campaigns-russia-contacts/
The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday completed its multi-year investigation into Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election, issuing a bi-partisan report that found extensive contacts and connections between Russian officials and the Trump campaign. The panels findings undercut several of President Donald Trumps most oft-repeated claims, including that Russia did engage in a comprehensive campaign to interfere in the presidential election and did so with the intention of helping him win.
While the report stopped short of declaring that the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government, the panel uncovered a great deal of previously unknown communication between the Kremlin and Trump advisers, many of whom were open to receiving the assistance.
No hoax about it. They wanted Russias help. They got Russias help, wrote former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics Walter Shaub.

The panel confirmed that Trumps campaign chairman Paul Manafort sought to give internal campaign data to Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik, saying Manafort posed a grave counterintelligence threat to the United States.

(22,540 posts)Wikileaks would be putting out more stolen documents, on Podesta, I think. So he knew Assange had the goods and he had to know who stole them. Plenty of material to convince a jury that Trump willingly worked with Russia to be elected. To me, that makes his election win illegal. No one should benefit from a crime. His presidency is illegal. Every judiciary appointment should be annulled. He should repay the govt every cent it had to spend on him and his children. Manafort passing voter info to Kilimnik. Meeting with Veselnetskaya, whatever her name was. Devos-trump-Alfa computer. Secret back channels.
We cannot allow an illegal campaign/election to stand.

(22,007 posts)FBI took its own sweet time on this but was eager to screw Hillary's elective advantage.
Obama could have revealed so much more but he kept it under wraps. That was a
huge error imo.
